The Book that Will Change Everything

Okay, so we all know that the Bible itself is the most life changing book there is. Read it. Read it. Read it. And then after you have been doing that for a while, pick this one up to read alongside it.

Mastery by E. Stanley Jones

It's an old one. But it's not hard to understand like so many classics. A long time ago I heard a good friend talk about E. Stanley Jones and how he is one of those more silent great minds and authors. This book was written first in 1955, but man, it is rocking my 2008. I will be so bold to say that if you only plan to read one book in 2008 - make it this one. If you are seeking to figure out you and how you relate to God and his Kingdom - read it. If you have never considered something so deep - read it. If you are going crazy because there are things about yourself that you have tried to conquer but fail every time - read it. This book will change your entire paradigm of thinking about the Kingdom of God and your place within it. Mastery - The Art of Mastering Life.

It's out of print. Click here to find it.

It can be read as a daily devotional or a book. I find myself reading about 10 days worth at one time.

E. Stanley Jones said that, "The art of living is the least learned of all arts." In his book entitled "Mastery," he went on to say this, "Man has learned the art of existing, of getting by somehow with the demands of life, of escaping with half-answers, but he knows little about the art of living with all its demands."
